God's Ways are Higher Than Ours

Jared lost his job a couple months ago - a scary bit of news for us since I had just moved into an apartment, we had recently taken out a loan for a new(er) car for him, he was already making payments on a loan for school, we had insurance to pay for both cars, gas money, and whatever other needs there may be. Although we're not married yet or living together, we had/have been pooling our funds to help things progress more quickly. We thought it would be impossible for everything to get paid with only my income.

God has shown us otherwise! Since Jared has been without work (yes, he has a job now - he starts on the 9th of June), we have sold our first car, sold Jared's old laptop, sold some HID headlights, sold an ipod, and maybe a couple other things. Not only have all of the bills been paid on time and all other needs been covered, we've ended up having "extra money" for dates and such!

I got my 2nd electric bill in the mail today, and quickly ripped open the envelope to find out the news. My first bill was significantly lower than we'd imagined it would be ($61 for a month - and that includes heat), so I wasn't too incredibly concerned about this one. This bill was $31.90!!! - Basically cut in half!! God is so good! Truly, His ways are higher than ours.
